Chapter 167: The Northern King Has No Moral Principles
After hearing Mu Changtian's reminder, Lu Chen glanced at the endless grassland in the distance.
Mu Changtian was right. It was not easy to keep all the hundreds of thousands of people of the Northern Xian King.
Once the barbarian army was defeated, they could escape from any direction. Moreover, the barbarians were light cavalry. Heavy cavalry such as the black cavalry did not have much advantage when chasing the enemy, and there was a high probability that they could not catch up with the soldiers of the Northern Xian King.
Lu Chen glanced at the wall of Tianguang City at this time, and an idea came to his mind.
If the army of the Northern Xian King could all enter Tianguang City, the city gate would be blocked at that time, and the soldiers of the Northern Xian King would not be able to escape.
However, the Northern Xian King had hundreds of thousands of people, and it might not be easy to bring them in, and they might not be fooled.
The Northern Xian King was not a fool. It was impossible for him to go in when he saw the city gate open...
Thinking of this, Lu Chen was stunned.
Would a man who dared to lead his troops south to attack Beijun in winter be afraid of a small Tianguang City?
If it was the King of Northern Xian, he might really try to get into the city.
Lu Chen then said: "Open the city gates, everyone hide immediately!"
Hearing this, Mu Changtian instantly understood what Lu Chen meant. Lu Chen was planning to lure the enemy into a trap, and then close the city gates.
But I don't know if the King of Northern Xian will be fooled.
Lu Chen continued: "Immediately send a cavalry to pretend to retreat."
Mu Changtian said: "Yes, Your Majesty."
Then, the soldiers on the city wall hid, and only the secret sentries were watching outside the city.
And Mu Changtian also deliberately arranged some cavalry to wait at the east gate. As long as the King of Northern Xian's army came, they would immediately pretend to abandon the city and flee.
Not long after, the King of Northern Xian led more than 100,000 barbarian cavalry to appear not far outside Tianguang City.
Seeing that there were only catapults on the city wall, no one, and the city gate was wide open, the King of Northern Xian laughed, "It seems that the defenders of Tianguang City knew we were coming, so they simply retreated."
At this time, the King of Northern Xian's trusted general said: "Your Majesty, I heard that when the King of Heavenly Wolf went south to attack Beijun, Beijun did not defend Tianguang City, and the King of Northern County withdrew all the troops of Beijun to Yancheng."
"As a result, the King of Heavenly Wolf encountered an ambush in the Wanning River Valley, which eventually led to the destruction of 300,000 troops."
At this time At that time, the barbarian scouts came back and said, "Your Majesty, a group of Daxia cavalry appeared at the east gate, and they fled directly to the south!"
Hearing this, a trusted general of the Northern Xian King immediately said, "Your Majesty, I will lead the troops to chase those Daxia cavalry! I guarantee that none of them will escape!"
The Northern Xian King immediately raised his hand to stop them and said, "No need, just run away, they are just some small fish and shrimps.
"The kid from Yancheng probably wants to deal with us like he did to the Sirius King last time, but he underestimates me too much."
"Let's rest in Tianguang City for a few days, and then find a way to attack Yancheng."
The Northern Xian King glanced at the Tianguang City in front of him. At this time, there was not even the flag of the Northern Palace on the wall of Tianguang City.
The Northern Xian King then said, "Enter the city! "
In the eyes of the King of Northern Xian, the soldiers of Daxia were afraid of him, so they had already fled south. He was too lazy to waste time sending scouts into the city to inquire about the situation, so he could just go in directly.
When they were crossing the grassland, the soldiers were already extremely tired and now they urgently needed to rest.
It would be better to occupy Tianguang City directly and make a fire in the city to cook instead of camping outside Tianguang City. In terms of resisting the cold, their tents are definitely not as good as the earthen houses of the Daxia people.
For the army of the King of Northern Xian at this time, Tianguang City is very tempting.
At this time, Lu Chen discovered through the secret sentry that the King of Northern Xian actually led the army directly into the city, and he was stunned for a moment.
Not even sending scouts, just going directly into the city, this is completely not taking Beijun seriously.
The King of Northern Xian is really arrogant.
No wonder he dared to lead his troops south to attack Beijun in the middle of winter, which is indeed in line with his personal character.
At this time, Lu Chen said to the people beside him: "Get ready for battle. ”
Just now he was worried that the King of Northern Xian would not be fooled, but he did not expect that others did not even suspect him and walked into the city in a swagger.
Since the guests have come in, they should also take out the gifts they prepared.
The King of Northern Xian was still completely unaware that the danger had come. After passing through the gate of Tianguang City, he looked at the empty buildings in Tianguang City and said: "Daxia really has a group of rats. They were scared away before my army even blew the horn. "
"The Sirius King's tribe was defeated by such an enemy. The Sirius King is really a waste!"
"If the 300,000 troops were handed over to me, I might have already fought to the capital of Daxia! "
The more the King of Northern Xian spoke, the angrier he became. He lent tens of thousands of soldiers to the King of Heavenly Wolf, but he didn't get any benefits. Instead, the woman he liked was snatched away by that kid from Northern County. How could he feel comfortable?
At this time, the King of Northern Xian's trusted general said, "My king, after we conquer Northern County, will we establish a country in Northern County?"
The King of Northern Xian snorted and laughed and said, "Establish a country? What country? I am not like the fool that is the Heavenly Wolf King who always daydreams."
"If I really occupy Northern County, Daxia will definitely attack me with all its strength. I came to Northern County just to bring back what the Heavenly Wolf King promised me."
It has been unknown how many years since the Heavenly Wolf King tribe moved to the north. Every year they would go south to plunder, but they had never seen the Heavenly Wolf King tribe conquer the North County.
The King of Beixian also knew that Daxia valued land very much, so he did not think that he could always occupy the land in Beixian. Once the Daxia court reacted, Daxia would definitely send an army northward.
Therefore, the purpose of King Beixian's trip was very simple, which was to steal women, food, and supplies.
As long as he achieves his goal, he will retreat immediately and will not stay in Bei County for too long.
After returning to the north, the Daxia army had nothing to do with them.
At this time, a forward barbarian soldier came to the North Xian King and said, "Your Majesty, we found that there are still horses in Tianguang City, and they didn't even take away the horses!"
Hearing this, King Beixian laughed and said: "Hahahaha, the people of Daxia are really a bunch of trash."
"It seems that they escaped in a hurry and didn't take away any supplies from Tianguang City, which can be used as our supplies."
"Let's go, take me to their military camp. I want to see what good things they left for me."
Immediately, King Beixian continued to advance towards the inner city of Tianguang City with his army. Just after King Beixian's army of hundreds of thousands entered Tianguang City, the gate of Tianguang City suddenly closed.
The barbarian soldiers quickly discovered the soldiers at Beijun Gate. After sensing that something was wrong, the barbarian soldiers immediately blew the horns.
Hearing the sound of the horn from behind, King Beixian was stunned for a moment. When he came to his senses, he immediately turned his horse's head and asked, "What happened?"
Before anyone could answer Beixian Wang's question, some iron balls appeared above their heads.
The barbarian soldiers reacted instantly.
"Enemy attack!!!"
"We were fooled, the Daxia soldiers did not escape!!!"
"Watch your head!!!"
…
For a time, the hundreds of thousands of troops of the North Xian King were in chaos.
King Beixian had already reacted at this time, and when he learned that Daxia's army not only did not escape, but instead surrounded them, King Beixian couldn't help but sneered and said: "Rat people are rats, they think they can defeat my king's army by engaging in such conspiracy and tricks." ?"
Then the King of Beixian shouted, "The whole army is on alert, follow me and charge to kill!!!"
As soon as the words fell, the messengers beside King Beixian took out their horns and started blowing.
Woo~~~
Woo~~~
…
The sound of the horn echoed in the sky above Tianguang City, and the soldiers of King Beixian quickly calmed down. However, before King Beixian and the others could find their enemies, the iron balls that landed in the crowd exploded.
Countless pieces of iron exploded by the thunderbolt directly penetrated the furs and clothes of the barbarian soldiers. A thunderbolt exploded in the crowd, and a large number of barbarian soldiers fell down when it exploded.
Seeing this scene, King Beixian was dumbfounded. At this time, King Beixian's army became extremely chaotic again.
"Oh my God! What kind of weapon is this!"
"Thunder, it's thunder, there are immortals in Beijun!!!"
"Run away!"
"I don't want to die!!!"
…
Looking at the chaotic army and the blown-up corpses of soldiers, King Beixian was completely stunned.
What kind of weapon is that iron ball, and why is it so powerful?
Realizing that something was wrong, King Beixian came to his senses and said quickly: "Follow me to break out of the encirclement!"
Immediately, the army of King Beixian turned around and rushed towards the city gate, intending to rush out of Tianguang City.
No matter how stupid King Beixian was, he finally came to his senses at this time. He finally understood why King Tianlang's 300,000 troops were defeated in Beijun and in the hands of King Beixian.
That kind of terrifying weapon cannot be defeated by human power at all!
The King of the North does not respect martial ethics!
At this time, the sound of the horn was still reverberating in the sky above Tianguang City, and the sound of the horn was also mixed with the sound of loud drums and the explosion of thunder. For a moment, the barbarian soldiers in the city felt that their ears were deafened.
They only felt the buzzing in their ears, but could not hear any other sounds.
The barbarian soldiers were frightened out of their wits, and they frantically attacked the Beijun soldiers at the gate of the city. But unfortunately, there were the most thunderbolts at the gate of the city. Not only the thunderbolts, but also the thunderbolts that Lu Chen didn't use up last time. howitzer.
The power of the 122mm howitzer was much greater than that of the Thunderbolt. No matter how many barbarian soldiers rushed over, a large area in front of them was basically destroyed. Before long, the corpses of the barbarian soldiers were piled into a hill.
Because of the explosion of the thunder, the horses of the barbarian soldiers were frightened so that they were no longer controlled by the barbarian soldiers. Soon their cavalry formation was completely disrupted. In Tianguang City, there appeared again something like the last time the Sirius King attacked Beijun. The kind of mass stampede.
Many barbarian soldiers were thrown to the ground by their horses, and then were trampled directly by other soldiers' horses. Immediately, countless barbarian soldiers were trampled beyond recognition by their own horses.
Seeing the limbs flying all over the sky, King Beixian's mind went blank. He couldn't figure out why Daxia had such a terrifying weapon.
He had never heard of Daxia possessing such a powerful killing weapon.
At the same time, on the tower, Lu Chen looked at everything in front of him indifferently.
Xiao Pengtian, who was beside Lu Chen, stared straight at the battlefield in front of him, but his mind kept replaying the memories of when the Sirius King's 300,000 troops attacked Yancheng.
That evening, their barbarian soldiers were also blown to pieces. When thinking of that scene and those memories, Xiao Pengtian's strong body couldn't help but tremble a little, and even cold sweat kept coming out of his forehead.
Why did they think so hard and come to provoke the Northern King!
Is this really a war?
This can no longer be considered a war!
At least it is not the war in his impression!
This is a one-sided massacre!
The barbarian army that was blown up by the thunder bomb had no power to fight back. Just like humans killing chickens and ducks, they could only flee frantically.
At this time, Lu Chen turned his head to look at Xiao Pengtian on the side and found that Xiao Pengtian's loyalty had directly increased to 95.
Seeing Xiao Pengtian staring at the battlefield in the distance with a pale face, Lu Chen asked: "General Xiao, are you cold? Why are you shaking all the time?"
After hearing Lu Chen's words, Xiao Pengtian came back to his senses and immediately replied: "My Lord, I am not cold."
Lu Chen said lightly: "Yes, your forehead is sweating, you should not be cold. After all, you are a master, and you can use the protective qi to isolate the cold even in the coldest weather."
Xiao Pengtian swallowed his saliva and said: "My Lord is right."
Xiao Pengtian suddenly thought of something at this time, so he immediately half-knelt down and said: "My Lord, I beg to fight, I will take the head of the King of Northern Xian and present it to you!"
After the Tianlang King tribe joined Beijun, Xiao Pengtian has been trying to prove his loyalty. He doesn't want to be blown up by weapons like thunder bombs again.
There was no war before, and there was nothing big in Beijun. He couldn't find an opportunity to show his loyalty. Now the opportunity has come. As long as he kills the King of Northern Xian, he can show his loyalty to the King of Northern Xian.
Hearing Xiao Pengtian's words, Lu Chen's mouth corners slightly raised, and then said: "General Xiao's kindness is appreciated, but there is no need to go to such trouble."
Speaking of this, Lu Chen immediately turned his head and said to Mu Jingwu who was tinkering with the howitzer not far away: "Captain Mu, aim at the King of Northern Xian and fire!"
Mu Jingwu immediately said loudly: "Received!!!"
Then Mu Jingwu asked the soldiers to load the shells, and he adjusted the howitzer to aim at the position of the King of Northern Xian.
And Lu Chen also took out the Barrett out of thin air and aimed directly at the King of Northern Xian.
Seeing Lu Chen take something out of thin air, Xiao Pengtian was stunned again. For some reason, when he saw the black stick-like thing in Lu Chen's hand, he felt his soul trembling.
Obviously, this is a weapon as terrible as a howitzer, but he doesn't know what weapon it is.
At this moment, Mu Jingwu directly aimed at the position of the King of Northern Xian and pulled the bolt. The next moment, a grenade fell directly on the head of the King of Northern Xian.
The King of Northern Xian was a master after all. He instantly sensed the coming of danger. Seeing the cylindrical metal above his head getting closer and closer, the King of Northern Xian instantly thought of the iron balls that had just exploded.
He quickly used his protective Qi to protect his body, then quickly jumped off his horse, jumped directly to the back.
Just when he thought he had avoided the attack, with the sound of a "Gang" gunshot, he suddenly felt a chill in his chest.
The King of Northern Xian looked down at his chest in disbelief and found that there was a huge bloody hole in his chest.
Before the King of Northern Xian could figure out the situation, he fell from the air to the ground, and died with his eyes open.
